Engineering Design: Representation and Reasoning

"Dym and Brown present a useful resource to bring any design engineer interested in AI, or AI computer scientist interested in design, up to speed on the fundamentals of the field. This new edition also hints at emerging ideas from his active area of research. A very nice book, Engineering Design, demonstrates how AI can impact the research and practice of engineering design." - Jonathan Cagan, George Tallman and Florence Barrett Ladd Professor of Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University "The original edition provided the basis for a profound understanding of engineering design using concepts from artificial intelligence. In the second edition, Clive Dym and David Brown have, in a masterful manner, made a good book better. This edition brings together newly developed concepts in artificial intelligence and cognitive science to enhance our understanding of design. If you want to understand engineering design there is no better place to start than this book." - John S. Gero, Research Professor, Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study, formerly Director, Key Centre of Design Computing and Cognition, University of Sydney PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: "[Dym] has done an excellent job of describing the design process, both the psychological processes of the designer and the interaction between the human designer and the design tools that are now available and becoming available to assist (or collaborate) in the task. The book is a valuable contribution to the design literature and should be of great use as a solid introduction to the field." - Herbert A. Simon, Nobel Laureate, Professor, Carnegie Mellon University

The following work has been written to afford those visiting the Salem environs a means of acquainting themselves with the physical remains of the outbreak of witchcraft in Essex County in 1692. It is not intended to shed fundamentally new light of the events of that year; rather, it should serve to sketch the history of the era and integrate that history with a list of the sites still extant today.

The Devil's Spawn The Devil's Spawn is Captain Al Belcher's faithful account of the Zircon Army's campaign to win Uneeda and seize a three-ton hoard of gold. The Uneeda battle was one of many in a bitter war for supremacy that had raged for a century between races. The hemocyanin creatures, Ichneumons, want to rule the planet, Erden. To accomplish their goal, the devils wagged genocide on humans and war on the Zircon Empire. The empire has recently forced the Ichneumons from the strategic important Erie River valley, but the cat-eyed devils still control the inland sea and valuable western gold mines around Uneeda. The Zircon army orders Captain Belcher and his men to harass that Ichneumon garrison and stop their enslavement and murder of ranchers, farmers, and the Indigenous tribes. The twisted Ichneumon religion of blood sacrifices, and human greed for gold and slaves, exacerbates the brutality of the Uneeda campaign. Covetous aristocrats, rare otters, murderous chiefs, and friendly females complicate Al's mission.
